project-git-release - Gitea Connector

project-git-release-connector-gitea (WIP)

Gitea Connector

This is a sample Connector implementation for the project-git-release-core project. For the whole documentation, please refer to the core project's README.md file.

General Disclaimer

I'm not a Python developer... I'm doing this as a hobby, because I need something to create versions and releases on Gitea for my home project on self-hosted Gitea. Use at your own risk, the source is open. I do not take responsibility for any damage caused.

About the project

The project is heavily inspired by the release-please project. The goal is to provide a similar flow for collecting changes based on conventional commit messages and handling releases.

Since release-please is tied to GitHub, it cannot really be used for Gitea, Bitbucket, GitLab, etc. This led to the idea of creating a library that can be used in a modular way, and can be freely extended by you or anyone else.

Since my use case is to release project versions in a self-hosted environment (releasing on Gitea using Argo Workflow), I decided to go with Python.

About the author

I've been a Java software developer since November 2011. I've worked in multiple domains (telco, retail, finance, etc.). On the technology side, I started with Java EE, but have used Spring (Boot) for the last 10 years, though I'm definitely not a Python developer.

To implement the project, I used Claude (Free Tier); please see the AI Disclaimer below for more information.

AI Disclaimer

As I mentioned above, I'm not a Python developer, hence I used Claude AI (Free Tier) to help in the creation of the project.

Currently, for the project I did not generated any actual code blocks for this project (as far as I remember). What I used AI for:

• Helping generate Git commands
• Helping generate regex expressions
• Asking about project structure
• Asking about Python best practices
• Brainstorming
• Proofreading this README file :D

I tried to avoid sharing whole project parts with the AI, and never gave it access to my project (no agentic AI was involved).
